Not a great start but did get better through the 4 days. Our arrival was frosty, especially madame manager who couldn’t crack a smile for her customers. Next it’s a 4 star hotel that wanted payment for the room upfront. Then they didn’t accept Amex and finally, laundry service was suspended but they could give us the details of do it yourself launderettes in the town. Not a good start to our expensive stay. That said we had a very nice bungalow, well maintained and a nice cool retreat from the blistering summer heat. Great shower pressure, comfortable beds. All the important things for a vacation. The weird process of having to book specific times for breakfast and dinner didn’t make much sense, especially since there were never more than 4 tables occupied for the times we were there. Could be a process still in place from the pandemic. The jewel was the roof pool and solarium. A lovely place to chill after tourism. The staff we engaged with were very nice and helpful. It’s a shame our initial experience was tainted by management and some obscure policies you’d not expect for a hotel with 4 stars.
This Hotel is AMAZING. You get the feeling the people working there really want you to have a great stay. Immediately, I felt really good in the room. It was cosy. The heated floor in the bathroom is really a plus. The cherry on top are the drinks and little chips for free included in the room!
We stayed for one night but we are planning to come back.
THE place to stay in Evora! Evora has several nice places to stay but you would not stay any other place than this fabulous Pousada. A converted monastery with at great feel to it, smack in the middle of this charming university town. The staff is supernice and knowledgable - and will direct you to one of many great monuments, churches and interesting places to visit. The cells are very cute and adoringly decorated. The suites are out of this world. Just do it!
This is the perfect hotel for a short stay in beautiful Evora. A short walk to all the main attractions and restaurants, generous & spacious common areas with a bar open till midnight plus generous well-appointed rooms, and super friendly support team (thanks to Marissa especially who was one of the best hosts we came across in our 12 day trip across Portugal). Off street parking at 10Eur is available and very welcome. Ticked all the boxes for us.
